Are They Good Or Bad?

[Buster007]

Hi all,

I am hoping someone can help with the identification of some inhabitants of my new tropical marine tank.

I set up the tank in the middle of February this year with coral sand, RO water and some live rock. I have since added a Cleaner Shrimp, two Turbo Snails and two Percula Clownfish. Various inhabitants arrived with the live rock including several Bristle Worms (one recently deceased), a Sea Urchin and Two Crabs.

My question relates to the vegetation growing on the live rocks. I have a colony of white tube like growths with bright green ends, some dark red moss like material and a peculiar pink organism. Can any one help with their identification and tell me whether they are good or bad and if undesirable how I might be able to get rid of them.

RED MOSS


PINK ORGANISM


WHITE TUBES


COLONY OF WHITE TUBES


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Nic.

the red moss stuff i'm fairly sure is a type of algae

and i want some of those white/green tubey things, they look cool! 8)
